YGO: Individual Card Discussion

[Mullet]

New card.

Mage Power
Magic
Increase the attack of the equipped monster by 500 points for each magic and trap on your side of the field.

This card is the best power up card in Advanced Format, in Tradidtional it was this, and UWS, but now this is the best because of the bans. This card can really make some of the weaker Monsters more uber, I put down 4 M/Ts then equip this to Mataza the Zapper, and then destroy the opponet!

 

[Pogiforce-14]

like any oher equip card, too easy to destroy, plus if you play down cards just for it's sake you make those cards vicitm to others such as MST and breaker, raigeki break, Mobius, etc. I give it a 7/10.

 

[Mullet]

I'm sure that that's what you'll be saying when I beat you down with, it if I draw it. :D

 

[Pogiforce-14]

I know it's a good card. Problem is, with the way my deck is as of now, it probably wouldn't matter. :P

 

[Mullet]

Well I could I have cards to negate you magic destroyers too, you know.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

What could you possibly have to negte Mobius the frost monarch?

 

[Orochi Breakwing]

Uhm...DIVINE WRATH sir...

I have to give MAge power my 6/10 because it likes to make you drop your spells/traps for power, and its suceptible to S/T removal, like Pogi said.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

MP's got a more finishing feel to it than an actual offensive mechanism IMO. Obviously as a finisher it's great, but as you have already said about the downfalls of the card, it's evident that it's only good as a finisher. Thus my money's on whether you can shell out a space for a potential finisher or go with utility or something else.

7/10

 

[Mullet]

I can use it for offence, and as a finisher. I used it on my friend after I Crossout on him, and then blasted him for 4400 direct damage to his life points!

I'm aware of that. Thing is, Mullet doesn't ahve Divine Wrath. I do.

That's what I'm saying, it feels so much more like a finisher, you know dealing 4000+ damage is considered more of a finishing move.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

I must admit Mage power is good, as I now have one, but still, It's not somethign I would rate so highly considering it can be destroyed just as easily as any other magic card. :\

 

[Kenny_C.002]

As I say, if you hit them once with it, you're treating it as if it's regular burn (but in this case better, since they have to also waste a card to get rid of this "burn").

 

[Pogiforce-14]

I wouldn't exactly call it "wasting a card", considering I ofen do somethign like this:

Nobleman of extermination several of the face down cards, MST, Mage Power or fissure teh monster, since more often than not it's the only one on the field, then soul release Mage Power along with a bunch of the the opponent's other cards, then fiber it all and start teh duel over, with me more or less still with a full deck, and them missing a considerable chunk.

That's the general way my deck plays. card destruction and removal.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Exactly. If mage power goes off even once, it's considered "burn" damage. Twice, it's recurring burn damage. The difference here is that mage power requires your opponent to have removal to take care of it whereas regular burn like tremenous fire goes away after you activate it. It's more on the personal bias toward the card itself, whether you treat is as an equip card or a simple burn card, not whether you remove it from the game or not.

 

[Mullet]

You can't consider Mage damage Burn damage.

So, now your saying it's better now that you have one, is that right, Poji!

 

[Orochi Breakwing]

Eww..Nobleman of Extermination...

Meh...Mage Power has the weaknesses that any OTHER equip card has, thats nothing to worry about. A maximum of 3000 attack boost isnt anything to laugh at either.

I give it a 10/10.

 

[Vagabond Aeon]

And let's not get started on what happens when you equip it onto a Mataza the Zapper or a Hayabusa Knight.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

I'm not saying it's better. I'm just saying it holds a great deal of power, that can be easily turned against you like any other equip magic card.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

I'm well aware of that, but there aren't too many out there other than the usual cylinder and stuff that can screw over a mage power user (Not counting CA disadvantage or anything).
